A gem of a site in a perfect location

We've been to this site dozens of times over the past 30+ years and it never fails to deliver a magical break away. Literally in the heart of the New Forest, Black Knowl is in an isolated but accessible location with wildlife just the other side of the entrance. For peace and quiet this is also a perfect choice as there is literally no sound after 8:00pm and you could close your eyes and imagine you're the only family on site. A slight negative is the attitude of some caravanners towards children and we noticed our children receiving frowning stares from a few couples. Luckily this doesn't bother us not our children. Cycling is popular on site and rightly so because there are dozens of excellent cycle trails nearby, both on and off road. Some great pubs and restaurants in the local vicinity too, we recommend the Foresters Arms and the Snakecatcher in Brockenhurst village - both easy walking distance. The site wardens were helpful and friendly and always had time for a chat or offer advice. The facilities are excellent and newish (I'm old enough to remember the big round toilet block) and have disabled and family rooms available should you need them, access via a key. As an aside, and this relates to all Club sites, in recent years it seems that motorhomes are greater in number than caravans and some of the enormous ones can sometimes give the site the appearance of a lorry/coach park when they congregate together.
